I wrote a song inspired by a preaching at church a few weeks ago about loving God vs. loving the world. It's based on two verses and a quote:

1 John 2:15 "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

Matthew 6:19-20 ""Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

C.S. Lewis: "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither."

I recorded this song in a few hours, with a lousy earphone mike but I used a keyboard for extra sounds for the first time since a long long time. Enjoy!

Earthly Games and GloriesBy Samuel K Lis, August/September 2011

Verse:

In this world of short-lived wondersEarthly games and glories fade awayI will choose to thirst and hungerFor your kingdom and majesty todayI’ll say

I love you

Chorus:

What can the world offerThat could ever compare with youHow could the things of this worldDraw me awayFrom your unending loveAnd the joy that you giveThere’s nothing greater

I love you

Bridge:

For if I run after earthly treasuresIt will all go to wasteBut if I run after JesusHis love will still remain

Bridge 2:For if I run after gold and silverI lose sight of what is trueBut if I run after JesusHe gives me all that is goodFor He is good

Last verse:

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown inAim at earth and you get neither
